FASHION’S FRILLS

Washable satin skirts are prettily finished by belts and folds of colored corduroy. Some of the quiet, prim-looking little dress bodices are almost childlike in simplicity. A well-cut, very simple suit of navy serge is given undeniable smartness by white braid bindings. Among leather handbags favored colors are brown, blue, green, amethyst, gray and purple. The military belt is fashionable made of suede, with strappings of black patent leather and a small buckle. Some of the prettiest sports suits have coats of gay silk stockinet, trimmed with the same material as the skirt —striped Japanese crape, heavy weight. Cushions for the porch and lawn are covered with awning stripes. There are some interesting new square cushions—cubical, about 18 inches high. These are quite hard and firm, and are good to sit In on lawn or porch.
